Unable to launch i7 8750H at maximum performance.
Hey there! Your Dell G7 7588 is handling the load well with the i7 8750H, especially in demanding games like NFS Heat. The temps stay under 75°C thanks to the liquid metal coating. Since adjusting BIOS settings and undervolting didn’t fix it, you might want to check if there’s a specific driver or firmware update for your graphics card that could help. Also, ensure your cooling system is functioning properly—sometimes even small issues can cause those dips. If the problem persists, consider consulting Dell support or checking community forums for similar setups.
Navigate to power options and select top performance. Proceed to plan settings, then advanced plans, and within "Processor power management," adjust the lowest processor usage to 100%.
It seems like the device will slow down to 1.6ghz, likely to maintain cooling. You might want to stick with high performance settings for its power plan, but other adjustments could help improve results. Does this affect your experience?
It doesn't always depend on the CPU temperature to cause throttling. The issue could stem from insufficient power (both CPU and GPU drawing too much energy) or overheating in certain components, which leads to reduced performance. In a laptop, these scenarios are more likely to occur than on a desktop.
It's already optimized for top performance, but you can try Throttlestop to bypass power limits. This app has been used to lower your CPU voltage, which causes frame drops when it hits around 1.6 GHz—especially noticeable in games like NFS Heat.
It's already optimized for top performance, but you're looking for a way to bypass throttling with Throttlestop. Since using that app lowered your CPU frequency from 1.6 GHz to 30-35 while dropping FPS from 55-60, it suggests the issue isn't just power limits but also how the game handles performance adjustments. Trying to set full power without any throttling control hasn't worked so far.
It's there to shield your laptop from overheating, short circuits, damage, blown capacitors, and other issues.
